Abstract

Processes of reflection and refraction are investigated in the case of a vertically layered elastic-fluid system. Special matrices characterizing the layers, the boundaries, and the entire system are introduced to find the refraction coefficients. By means of these matrices general formulas for the refraction coefficients are obtained, and the matrix method is generalized to elastic-fluid systems.
